About Me

I am a former Mormon. This blog includes posts I've made to various discussion boards on the subject of Mormonism. It is not intended to promote the Mormon faith. Those who participate in the faith and prefer not to have their faith challenged are discouraged from reading. All readers are welcome to comment regardless of viewpoint. Note for clarity: my comments are always in black typeface.

Do you not answer the door when you think it is a Jehova's witness or a mormon? —johnny w

Cause I just turned off the tv and hunkered down until they went away!

I hate door-to-door sales. I won't buy their products even if they sound good, and I feel no compunction to be cordial with them if they won't take no for an answer. When my wife fell in love with a Kirby vacuum I still told the dude no, even when he insisted he was required to dump the dirt he'd just cleaned back on our carpet. (We found the vacuum for hundreds less on eBay later.)

So I bet you can guess what was my least favorite part of being a Mormon missionary. Sorry if I bothered any of you, if I'd had it my way we'd have been back at the apartment playing cards.
